Greetings,

Having read over the site again, I have to accept that it is more a matter of the wording than what they are actually saying.  

As a mater of interest, the very first time I went to a therapist, his initial reaction was social anxiety - that was before I was fully aware of AS.  All of that was swept aside though when I started having panic attacks - so the emphasis was purely on controlling the general anxiety.  The psychiatrist I saw a while ago only looked at the OCD.  He admitted that he had no understanding of AS or ADHD and said he would welcome information - so the next time I went I took him a whole pile of stuff.  At that point he seemed to have completely forgotten what he said before and seemed surprised that I dared to question his supreme knowledge (and didnt even look at any of the stuff I took him). Basically what they do is look at one set of symptoms and completely ignore the others (the therapist paid no attention to the OCD which completely astonished me).

So I do judge people harshly on these things.
